Protecting your laundry and washer dryer:

Caution! Damage to the appliance/textiles
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips, needles, nails) may damage the washing or components of the washer dryer.
The following instructions must be observed when preparing your laundry:
Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions when dosing all detergents, cleaning aids, care products and cleaning agents.
Do not exceed maximum load.
Overfilling will impair the washing result.
Keep detergents and agents for the
pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain remover, prewash sprays, etc.) away from the surfaces of the washer dryer. Using a damp cloth, immediately remove any fine spray residue and other residue or droplets.
Empty any pockets. Remove any
foreign objects.
12
Laundry en
Textiles which were treated with
flammable liquids, e.g. with stain remover, petroleum ether, thinners. Risk of explosion!
Textiles which still contain hairspray
or similar substances.
Remove metal parts (paper clips,
etc.).
Trousers, knitwear and knitted
textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts, should be turned inside out.
Ensure that underwired bras are
machine-washable.
Wash delicates in a net or bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc).
Close zips, button up covers.
Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
Remove curtain fittings or include in
the net/bag.

Preparing laundry for drying

Note: To ensure an even drying result,

sort the laundry according to the:
Type of fabric
Drying programme
Care symbols which are indicated on
the care labels.
Only dry laundry which is labelled “dryer-proof” or which has the following care symbols:
a = Dry at normal temperature
Intensive Dry
` = Dry at low temperature
Gentle Dry

Notes

Before drying, hand-washed textiles
must be spun at the appropriate spin speed.
Before drying, spin at the optimum
speed. A spin speed of more than 1000 rpm is recommended for cotton, more than 800 rpm for easy­care textiles.
Do not iron washing immediately
after drying. It is recommended to roll the washing up first to distribute residual moisture evenly.
To ensure a good drying
performance, quilts, terry cloths and other large textiles should be dried separately. Do not dry more than four terry cloths (or 3 kg).
Do not exceed maximum load.
The following textiles must not be dried:
b = care symbol “Do not dry”
